Become a Himmah Ambassador
For fifteen years, Himmah has responded to crisis with compassion and dignity — delivering food, hot meals, clothing, and advice to thousands of local families. But charity alone cannot outpace inequality. Poverty is shaped by systems and power. If we are serious about justice in Nottingham, we must go upstream — organising people and organising money. Because power is built, and justice is built on organised communities with the resources to act.
​
The Himmah Ambassador Programme is how we build that power. Ambassadors represent Himmah in their communities, raise awareness, organise conversations, campaign for change and mobilise funds — including legacy giving. They are not simply volunteers; they are community builders turning generosity into lasting impact.
​
During Ramadan, ambassadors focus on fundraising, harnessing the spirit of zakat and sadaqah to support families now while strengthening Himmah for the future. If you believe in dignity and justice for Nottingham, join us — and help organise the change our city needs.
​
As an ambassador, you’ll aim to raise at least £1,000 over the year by setting up a JustGiving page and taking on one or more fundraising activities. Some people go well beyond that. What matters most is commitment and consistency.
​
We’ll support you with ideas, messaging, graphics, and encouragement throughout the year.

Once your page is live, send us the link and we’ll support you along the way.
Last year, Robina became a Himmah Ambassador and raised £3,500 by hosting community dinners and music events. She turned the things she already enjoyed into meaningful support for Himmah’s work. Fundraising does not have to be extreme. It can be creative, community-based, and built around your own networks.
